IbanezUV70P Steve Vai Premium Signature - Black

This guitar came intonated wrongly. However, that’s my only complaint. The guitar itself is f’ing awesome. Sounds like how I remembered it as a kid.

Awesome guitar !! the neck is sick! The case is beautiful, Mike's guitar shop got me a bunch of treats ^^ thank you guys so much, love this amazin guitar !

If you are interested in expanding your horizons (guitar-wise), I suggest you try a 7-string guitar. I used to own an 1990 Ibanez UV77MC Universe 7-string guitar. I really loved playing that guitar and it had an awesome tone. That was one solid guitar that stayed in tune and had superior hardware and electronics. I was lucky enough to have a genuine ATD Darren Johansen swirled paint job that was really cool. His stamp was in the neck pocket. Ibanez did re-issue the same Multi-colored swirled Universe a couple of years back (again by Darren Johansen), but they over commercialized it so only high dollar collectors could buy it at $6,000.00 a pop (NOT COOL!). Unfortunately, I ended selling my Ibanez Universe so I could buy a new Veleno Original aluminum guitar from Mr. John Veleno himself. Not to mention, also selling my 1988 Ibanez Steve Vai JEM 777DSY and I have been kicking myself ever since I sold both of those Steve Vai guitars. If I have a chance in the near future to ever get another Ibanez Universe, I'd like to have the UV7OP. Other than the Multi-colored Universe (the Ultimate Ibanez Universe), I think the UV7OP is a HOT looking guitar. The green on black color scheme is badass! It may take a little while to get used to that 7th string, which is tuned to a low B and the rest of the strings are tuned standard 440. Of course, you can drop your tuning like most contemporary Heavy Metal/Thrash bands do, but I prefer standard tuning, unless I play Van Halen which almost half of there songs are dropped down a half step. Anyway, it won't take long for you to get used to that 7th string. Only problem with seven strings is you can't thumb chords, unless you have abnormally large hands like Mr. Vai. The neck on those Universe guitar's feel amazingly comfortable and fast. Also, your right hand rest's comfortably on the bridge, as well. The FR bridge is floating, so you will have to have a light touch or you will go sharp. All in all, you can't beat the consistency and quality of Ibanez guitars. Especially, the Premium line. I hope this helps in your decision to try one, so keep on Rockin! All's fair and Rock and "Rol"!!!
